XTapes

XTapes was founded in 2015 as a free tube site that caters to AAA pornography. Those that enjoy watching full movies from popular porn brands will be pleased to know that XTapes provides a ton of content for one’s viewing pleasure. Featuring videos from over 100 networks, over 25,000 HD videos, and featuring over 2500 pornstars, these numbers are climbing all the time. It’s a worthy visit for the porn fan that cannot get enough top-shelf porn but wants to taste-test before subscribing to a brand’s premium service.

Browse top brands and categories from a drop-down menu

As soon as the homepage loads for viewers, they will notice two menus from the top left to the right: top networks and categories. Hover over a tab, and users will notice the networks and categories that the free tube site offers. Click on one of the items in the drop-down menu, and one will see videos related to that category or brand. One thing to note is that viewers can't simply select the category or top network tab. This would have been beneficial to those that don't want to stare at a drop-down menu while on the homepage. There is something convenient about browsing categories and the like all on one page rather than scouring a drop-down menu. It may not be a big deal to some, but for others, it's probably going to be a bit bothersome.

Full movies tab at the top of page

Not every tab at the top of the page is like this, though – specifically, the full movies tab. Click it, and users will be able to browse all of the full movies that XTapes has to offer. These can be sorted by the latest, most viewed, longest, top-rated, and even random. Visitors don't have to visit this page to browse over 1200 full movies, though. Like the top brands and categories tab at the top of the page, they can also select their favorite brand via the drop-down menu on the full movies tab. Select the preferred brand, and the content from that brand will appear in the search results. Top networks and brands are represented here, too, including Wicked, Evil Angel, Digital Sin, Brazzers, and more.

New Full Movies section on the homepage

What about those that want to browse new, full movies instead of the entire catalog? XTapes also make this happen. The first section of the homepage features all the latest full movies that have graced XTapes. This gives viewers a quick glimpse as to the most recent content before deciding on the type of content they want to view. It’s also convenient for regular visitors. Not everyone has the time to visit their favorite free tube site every day – no matter how much they want to do so. At a glance, regular and new visitors alike can quickly glean which full-length content is fresh and new at XTapes. Hop on, glance, and find the latest content within a few seconds: it's that easy.

Thumbnails are extremely enticing

The lifeblood of any free tube site is its thumbnails. In the same way that an article uses a compelling headline, so too must video listings feature thumbnails that make one want to click and view what's inside. Fortunately for XTapes, the thumbnails look amazing. It's no secret why, though. Because many of the videos on XTapes are professional-grade porn productions, the thumbnails used are going to be more detailed than thumbnails derived from amateur content (which typically uses screencaps). It seems that the thumbnails used on XTapes are either stock thumbnails used on that source video's actual site; alternatively, most of the content is at such a high resolution that they don't look like typical screencaps. It’s a testament to the detail of modern pornography more than anything. Most AAA porn productions are filmed in 4K. Even for those that watch as much pornography as ThePornDude, it's hard to not still be amazed at how far porn productions have come even in the last few years. XTapes is an excellent reminder of this.

Video listings show good info

Thumbnails are not the only good piece of information used when looking for quality porn movies. The useful, relevant information has to be present to determine if a video is worth viewing. Like all free tube sites worth visiting, XTapes features the title, viewcount, duration, and rating. This allows viewers to determine if the content they want to watch is worth the click and time they will spend (after all, XTapes features a ton of full movies). It ultimately saves time. Visitors can quickly glean whether or not a video or movie is worth viewing within a matter of seconds. Take a look and see for how convenient these small little additions can indeed be!

View full movies by brand

What if a person wants to view full movies on XTapes, yet they don’t want to merely browse by new or what’s been viewed the most, but rather by brand? XTapes makes it happen. Notice the full movies drop-down menu at the top of the page, and hover over. A list of the porn brands on XTapes will be displayed. Click a brand, and viewers will see every full movie featured by that brand on the site. That's not the only way to view all the brands featured on XTapes. Notice the 'Top Networks' tab at the top. Hover over and notice additional brands on the list. Click one of them, and the videos for those brands will appear in the search results. While it arguably would have been more convenient to put everything into one list, because XTapes utilizes drop-down menus, it's simple to see why they didn't. Still, being able to browse all of the brands featured on one page would have been more convenient. Even so, the convenience factor is present. It's an easy and convenient way to watch full movies by one's favorite brands, all the while having the luxury of watching full-length content in that movie's native resolution. Whether one wants to view videos from brands like Naughty America, Jules Jordan, Digital Sin, or something else, they're sure to find the brands they love the most.

Clickable tags in videos

It’s always nice and convenient to see clickable tags in videos on a free tube site, and XTapes is no exception. The tags in the videos of XTapes feature the pornstars in the video, the brand, and relevant keywords related to the content. Like what was seen? Click on the tags and view the rest of the content relevant to that tag on XTapes. It's that easy!

Needs better categories

The downside of using XTapes is that it needs more fleshed out categories. It isn't that the categories are bad - it's that there isn't that many of them. Add to the fact that the categories are a bit vanilla – again, not bad just typical – and it feels like a missed opportunity. With a free tube site that boasts over 25,000 HD videos from over 100 networks/brands, one would expect more than a handful of categories. XTapes should consider fixing this problem.

'You may also like,' section at the bottom of videos

For those moments when viewers know what type of content they want to watch, there is the 'You May Also Like' section. This section is at the bottom of every video, so for those that want more of the same, it's the perfect option. Browse down, look at what is offered, and find something else worth watching. It could not be easier!

Can view porn by language

When hopping onto XTapes, one will notice that they can view content via language. While it may not make a lot of sense, click on a language, and it will become evident why it's here. It's the perfect option for viewers that want to watch JAVs (Japanese Adult Videos); clicking, 'Japanese' makes that happen. Further, for those that love European porn – say, of the German, French, or Russian variety – click the appropriate language shows the relevant content as well.
